Usually people are just happy if something works :).

I'm not sure about the greedy operator but your error message contained
not only filename:line but filename:line:column and because of
the :column, especially because of the second colon, the regular
expression of the documentation failed and the addition was necessary.
Without this addition, it parsed "test.py:7" as the filename and "24"
as the line number. With the addition, it detects there have to be two
colons and it takes the filename as first reference, the line number as
the second and then looks for a second colon followed by digits.
